Brief summary

Low glycemic index nutritional shakes have clinically shown to improve post-prandial glycemic responses in acute laboratory control studies. However, there is limited information on how replacing meals with low-glycemic index shake could impact glucose regulation in free-living adults consuming their own diets. The present study aims to examine the impact of adding the SP Glucose-Assist shake to the breakfast of non-diabetic overweight and obese adults. Subjects: 40 non-diabetic adults aged 25-65 years and body mass index ranging between 25-39 . Protocol: This is going to be a three-week study that will include a one-week self-selected diet, followed by two weeks of a breakfast supplement shake (standard process glucose assist) or control cereal oat breakfast.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTpowder shake with very low glycemic index

2 weeks of cereal and standard process glucose assist shake as part of breakfast. The diet for the remainder of the day will remain unchanged.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTCeral Breakfast

consume of 400kcal of oat-based cereal with honey for breakfast

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Glucose response between two breakfaststhe entire 2 hours of the glycemic testThe difference between the two breakfasts on the positive integer of the area under the curve for glucose during the 2 hours following breakfast ingestion.
Insulin responses between the two breakfastsThe entire 2 hours periodThe difference between the two breakfasts on the positive integer of the area under the curve for insulin; during the 2 hours following breakfast ingestion.
Glucose réponses during glucose challenge test2 hours post ingestion of the emperimental meal (cereal or ceral + shake)Positive integer of the area under the curve for glucose during the 2 hours glycemic test
Insulin responses during the glucemic challenge test2 hour post ingestion of the intervention meal (cereal or cereal + shake)Positive integer of the area under the curve for insulin during the 2-hours glycemic test
